lyrics
Avast!
The starlight tapestry shines like gin on a plaintive and vague recall
Out in a lover's mask and cape nobody can see me at all
The rainfall brought some vacancy to the devil's porch where it strolls
Even the railmen are gone but their graves are black and empty holes
Everything's a worthless sham
Nobody gives a damn
Plastic heads on paper dolls
I can't wait to see them fall
You can feel it in the rust on the cemetery gate
Down in the junkyard you can tell when it's too late
A strange town that I walk now and strangers are all that's left to see
Everything has killed itself and now nothing is left but me
Here today and gone by noon
Sucking on the silver spoon
Verbal masturbation rites
See your name in shattered lights
But even that's a memory as I walk until I'm gone
Tomorrow's just another day to keep dying and dying on
Zero, loser, reject, tool (Dying and dying on)
One more drip inside the pool (Dying and dying on)
Phony prima fucker fare (Dying and dying on)
Not me, I'm going straight nowhere
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha (Dying)
Ah ha ha ha ha
The starlight tapestry shines like gin on a plaintive and vague recall
Out in a lover's mask and cape nobody can see me at all
The rainfall brought some vacancy to the devil's porch where it strolls
Even the railmen are gone but their graves are black and empty holes
Everything's a worthless sham
Nobody gives a damn
Plastic heads on paper dolls
I can't wait to see them fall
You can feel it in the rust on the cemetery gate
Down in the junkyard you can tell when it's too late
A strange town that I walk now and strangers are all that's left to see
Everything has killed itself and now nothing is left but me
Here today and gone by noon
Sucking on the silver spoon
Verbal masturbation rites
See your name in shattered lights
But even that's a memory as I walk until I'm gone
Tomorrow's just another day to keep dying and dying on
Zero, loser, reject, tool (Dying and dying on)
One more drip inside the pool (Dying and dying on)
Phony prima fucker fare (Dying and dying on)
Not me, I'm going straight nowhere
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha (Dying)
Ah ha ha ha ha
